  2. Transfer of learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_learning

    Although the theory is that the similarity of elements facilitates transfer, there is a challenge in identifying which specific elements had an effect on the learner at the time of learning. [4] Factors that can affect transfer include: [7] Context and degree of original learning: how well the learner acquired the knowledge.

  3. Transfer of training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_training

    Similarity: Also referred to as identical elements theory, a high degree of similarity between the training environment and work environment increases the positive transfer of training. [2] [4] [3] Active Learning: Hands-on practice of material contributes to positive transfer, especially when it incorporates a variety of different contexts. [3]

  4. Edward Thorndike - Wikipedia

    Identical elements theory of transfer– This theory states that the extent to which information learned in one situation will transfer to another situation is determined by the similarity between the two situations. [9] The more similar the situations are, the greater the amount of information that will transfer. [9]

  5. Law of identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_identity

    Law of identity. In logic, the law of identity states that each thing is identical with itself. It is the first of the historical three laws of thought, along with the law of noncontradiction, and the law of excluded middle. However, few systems of logic are built on just these laws.

  6. John Dalton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dalton

    The main points of Dalton's atomic theory, as it eventually developed, are: Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass and other properties. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created or destroyed.

  7. Pauli exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_exclusion_principle

    In quantum mechanics, the Pauli exclusion principle states that two or more identical particles with half-integer spins (i.e. fermions) cannot simultaneously occupy the same quantum state within a system that obeys the laws of quantum mechanics. This principle was formulated by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925 for electrons, and later ...

  8. Indistinguishable particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indistinguishable_particles

    t. e. In quantum mechanics, indistinguishable particles (also called identical or indiscernible particles) are particles that cannot be distinguished from one another, even in principle. Species of identical particles include, but are not limited to, elementary particles (such as electrons), composite subatomic particles (such as atomic nuclei ...

  9. Identity (philosophy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_(philosophy)

    Identity (philosophy) In metaphysics, identity (from Latin: identitas, " sameness ") is the relation each thing bears only to itself. [1][2] The notion of identity gives rise to many philosophical problems, including the identity of indiscernibles (if x and y share all their properties, are they one and the same thing?), and questions about ...
